Bai Xue knocked on the door worriedly.

Just now, even she could tell that something was wrong with Shi Mu. She wanted to ask Shi Man to come over with her to take a look, but Shi Man actually said that she was tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Bai Xue thought about it and was really worried, so she mustered her courage and knocked on the door alone.

She thought that if Shi Mu was really asleep, she might as well leave and not disturb his rest. Therefore, after knocking on the door three times politely, she stood at the door motionlessly and p.r.i.c.ked up her ears to listen to the commotion inside.

In the room, Shi Mu had clearly heard the knock. He felt it was obvious who the person knocking on the door was.

His precious sister must have seen that he was in a bad mood and came over to ask. Moreover, his mother was worried that he was not full from dinner, so she must have specially asked the kitchen to make a new meal that suited his taste and brought it over for him to eat.

Anyway, it was impossible for the person outside the door to be Bai Xue.

He sighed deeply and endured the grievance and bitterness in his heart. He forced himself to perk up and slowly walked towards the door in his slippers.

Outside, Bai Xue did not hear any sound from inside for a long time. She thought that Shi Mu was really asleep and was worried that she would disturb his rest. She turned around uneasily and was about to leave.

In the next second, there was a soft sound from the door behind her.

Bai Xue turned around in surprise. When their eyes met, she clearly saw the ecstasy and surprise in Shi Mu’s eyes.

“You…”

“You…”

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Bai Xue pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily. “You go first.”

Shi Mu was stunned for a moment before joy spread across his face again. “Are you looking for me?”

“Yes.” Bai Xue nodded gently. “You didn’t eat much for dinner. I thought that you might have been too busy recently and didn’t have a good appet.i.te, so I made some light vegetable porridge. If you want to eat, you can go down and eat.”

“You made it for me personally?” Shi Mu did not expect such a surprise tonight. His sadness from before was swept away, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach his ears in excitement.

His gaze was too hot. Being stared at by him like this, Bai Xue’s expression changed unnaturally as if she had climbed up a cloud, and her head drooped lower and lower. “If you want to eat, come downstairs with me. I’m afraid it’ll get cold later.”

“Okay!” Shi Mu walked to her side proudly and wrapped her delicate hand in his large palm without thinking. Seeing Bai Xue raise her head to look at him in shock, not only did he not feel shy, but he held her hand even tighter. “You were busy cooking for me just now. You probably didn’t eat, right? Why don’t we go down and eat together?”

“I won’t…” Bai Xue subconsciously wanted to break free from his hand.

Shi Mu would not give her this chance at all. Instead, he used her own words to shut her up. “Let’s go quickly. I’m afraid it’ll be cold later.”

His joy was overflowing. Even through his back, one could tell how happy this person was.

Bai Xue was inexplicably surprised.

She had only made a bowl of porridge. Did he have to be so agitated?

When they arrived at the dining area, Shi Man and Shen Xian had already finished eating and returned to their rooms. Even the butler was gone. The entire villa was empty, as if only the two of them were left.

Shi Mu brought her to the dining table and sat down while he went to scoop the porridge.

Bai Xue got up to help, but he pressed her shoulder again.

“Just wait here obediently. Don’t 1 even know how to scoop porridge?” Shi Mu looked at her stunned expression and couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her face.

Bai Xue had been raised well in the Shi family during this period of time. Her originally thin face had gained a few pounds, and it felt good to pinch.

Shi Mu suddenly couldn’t bear to take his hand away from her face. Seeing that the flesh under his fingers had turned red from his pinch, he let go reluctantly. He walked out for a long time, still thinking about the soft touch on his hand just now.

Bai Xue sat at the table with her head lowered. She felt her heart palpitate for some reason, but when she thought that the person just now was Shi Mu, she forced herself to forget that palpitation.

When Shi Mu returned quickly, her expression had already returned to normal.

Shi Mu placed two bowls of steaming white porridge on the table. The green vegetable leaves and the white porridge complemented each other, whetting one’s appet.i.te.

Shi Mu finished the porridge excitedly and leaned back in his chair with a satisfied expression. He turned his head slightly and saw that the porridge in front of Bai Xue had not been touched.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Shi Mu observed his expression carefully and asked tentatively, “Do you not want to eat porridge? What do you want to eat? I’ll get the chef to make it for you.”

“Or 1 can learn it myself.” Shi Mu looked away unnaturally. This sentence seemed to have used up all his strength, so much so that he was panting as soon as he finished speaking. His heart raced as he stole a glance to the side, only to see Bai Xue sigh faintly.

“I’ve eaten. I’m not hungry anymore.” Bai Xue put down the spoon, but she had already touched the porridge in front of her. It would be a waste not to finish it, so she was depressed and conflicted..
